The Beta fix is compressed and did not self-extract. I tried downloading "WINZIP but received an error message that it was not a 32 bit file. So at this point, I can't open or run the file unless someone can tell me how. I am not particularly skilled in computer tech. (smile)

I have a vista machine, and when I got my new palm device, I downloaded the cd that came with the phone. So far everything has worked out well, it's been nearly 3 months. I'm not sure what type of problems people are having, but I certainly have been running along just fine, sync is not an issue at all either..

I have a zire 71 and I now have Microsoft Vista, is there anyway to set up the desk top and hotsync for my Zire? I have tried downloading from the computer and although it installs, it does not connect to the zire, cannot sync. If I can't fix this, what is the best PDA (not phone) that works with Vista?
